A good one ? I dunno. I surely booted KNOPPIX.
Just last week I could repair by booting to it and copy ntldr and 
ntdetect.com to a system that got stuck at that famous error.

What I'd do, is booting Knoppix, check if that partition shows as 
potential mount on the desktop (hda1, eventually). If not, I'd do
fdisk /dev/hda (or whatever it is, probably hda or sda). And I'd do an 
'su' on the terminal as well, before.
Then we can see what your disk contains.
Which would be needed before any file repair system could enter the scene.
